Lately, the reigning Formula 1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen has not denied the reports that he is thinking of not renewing his contract after its end next year.

There is a constructed rumor that Fernando Alonso a Spanish Renault racing driver and a two-time world champion has signed an agreement with Ferrari, (Raikkonen’s current team) for the year 2010. It was due to a rumor last week that says the Italian team's current star driver might not intend to pen another contract.

On a news conference in Montreal, Raikkonen established a statement saying that he still doesn’t have plans for the following years of his career. The champ said "I don't know what is going to happen, I haven't made my mind up, and maybe I will make my decision this year."

There were also reports that a close friend of Raikkonen said that driving is Raikkonen’s passion but he hates everything else about Formula One.’ It includes the public appearances and the life under the spotlight. He now wants a quiet and simple life after many years of being celebrated. It may also be due to management, or any financial aspect. It has been supported by Kimi’s words saying "When there are too many things you don't enjoy it is time to go away."
